I had other wildlife and landscape images, but this one was the best considering the processing limits of Basic rule set.
This is a golden rectangle 1:1.618. I used the golden ratio cropping tool overlay in PSE10 to place the area of the head between the eyes at the point of visual balance.

Cropping the legs is a valid criticism. I considered that. I have images of the animal in total. However, it requires a zoom out which would not be helpful to face detail. And, to place the full animal in a golden rectangle would have included much distracting detail. A portrait is a portrait and doesn't always include more than head and shoulders.
